Origin and history

The house located at 101, Grand-Rue in Strasbourg is a historical monument whose origins date back to the second half of the 16th century, with modifications made in the 18th century. This building, typical of Alsatian civil architecture, illustrates the evolution of styles over centuries in a city marked by its European history.

Classified as a historic monument since 1929, this house is distinguished by its facade and roof, protected by ministerial decree. Its inscription reflects the desire to preserve the architectural heritage of Strasbourg, particularly in the emblematic district of the Grand-Rue, the historic heart of the city.

Strasbourg, the Alsatian city at the crossroads of French and Germanic influences, experienced a period of prosperity in the 16th and 18th centuries, marked by trade, crafts and an influential urban bourgeoisie. The houses of that time, like this one, often served as residences for local merchants or notables, reflecting their social status by their decoration and central location.

Today, this monument is part of the heritage landscape of Strasbourg, alongside other protected buildings of the Bas-Rhin. Although the sources do not specify its current use, its state of conservation and its location make it a privileged witness to the urban and architectural history of the Greater East region.
